hello
i ve been using the discussion forum for my daughter's health problem, maybe someone can help me now...

1)I have a sort of psoriasis , on my arms (forearms,elbows mainly) and a patch on my right eyebrow
i say a sort because in my life i ve been to see loads of specialists and none could agree whether this was actually psoriasis or not
patches are pale pink,rough,scaly and sometimes become as inflamed with red rims and unconfortable sensation
after a long time they become white and less rough
i have had this problem since i was a baby
many approaches tried ,no cortisone etc,but lots of vitamins etc and others
problem got worse when i went on macrobiotic diet and then disappeared after 3 months on an all raw diet
then got worse again , got better with colonics,diet,lymphatic drainage +herbs

it has flared up again since end of pregnancy,i.e.since late 1998, worse than before (bigger patches)

went to see a homeopath who prescribed PSORINUM 12CH which i took for 3 weeks without any effect

i know that it always gets better through intestinal +lymphatic cleansing,but since i am breastfeeding i dont want to do any fasting etc

seems to get worse when i am under emotional stress

2) i also have a benign skin tumor on my left ring finger (Botryomycome)
it started when i was pregnant last year:i was wearing my wedding ring on that finger and there was some swelling around the ring
stupidly i didnt take it off
then i noticed a red raised spot above the ring - after about a month it started growing quite rapidly until it was almost the surface size of a raspberry,it would bleed easily
i used a lot of garlic and bentonite clay on it and parts of it fell of gradually
now it looks like a wart,the size of a small pea (but flat),skin is thick,it doesnt bleed anymore,doesnt grow or diminish in size

i dont want it operated because of the anaesthetic (local) (breastfeeding) and anyhow this is not a cure!

can you suggest anything?
you probably need more details but i dont know which!

nothing on inside of arm only outside,especially outside part of lower arm (from just above elbow down to halfway down lower arm)
skin problem doesnt seem to react to anything exept emotional stress,at least no immediate reaction
generally
i love warm sunny weather
high humidity and wet cold gray weather makes me tired and low feeling
i detest cold and very often have cold feet,especially,also hands in winter
i hate cold showers and love hot showers and baths
reactions to food:in the past my nose would often be runny and blocked in winter which i attributed to dairy products;now i m not sure that was the real cause
i get indigestion,full heavy feeling sometimes, but thats mainly because i tend to eat too much
sometimes have sweet cravings,especially for chocolate
coffee hypes me up terribly
cannot digest peppers (red etc peppers , i mean the vegetables)
difficulty digesting garlic sometimes

used to have very weak nails and white spots,now no problem any more

dont know if this has any importance but i have recently had 3 times a nosebleed from right nostril which was quite spectacular,heavy bleeding

tend to be constipated

drink a lot of water but very often dry mouth (maybe linked to breastfeeding,i never used to have this dry feeling before)

Hi.
where exactly, on the elbows, on the shell(olcraneon), or inside the elbow joint, in the bend?
On the shell, there are different remedies, as aster,sepia, zink, berberis, crot horr, calc phos, silicea. Exact place is important, also if reactions to water, weather,clothtes, wool, food etc,
Any spots on your nails, or any other nailproblems?

Dear Elinor and GM,

o.k. GM.

does "medications" include herbs? food suuplements such as spirulina?

No, they will only interfear, and is in some cases the cause to the problem, sulphur is a levercleanser, from various toxins.
So avoid that at least a month, pref no use at all, herbs are medicne, and shall not be used if no spesific disease.

ok
